WM6 remote desktop - set display resolution

Hi there,
i have installed Finster869's WM6_RemoteDesktop.cab, which is available somewhere in the forum here.
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to set some advanced options, which are normally shown in the regular remote desktop application for Windows Desktop OS's?
- Display: Remote Desktop Size
- Experience (Desktop background, Menu animation, themes)
Thanks
Chris

I'm curious how to set these too. 640x480 seems to get forced when I connect, making Outlook unusable.

Yeah, me too. There's a file default.rdp where you can amend the value of the resolution but somehow it doesnt take effect.
I end up using VNC Viewer though.

Hi, if there's just another Remote Desktop Client allowing to fit my needs - I'd use it.
What are the best Clients (also commercial)? Where can I get that VNC Viewer?

Got another question though - Is it possible to connect to a WM2003 server console through Finster869's RDP client?

Logmein
Another option is logmein free. They have a plugin for WM that works on the Kaiser I have from ATT. Allows me to set resloution, screen size, etc, and it's free.

im too looking for a way to get remote desktop mobile to set a custom resolution
because in small resolution on wm6 rdm it just hard for me to navigate stuff.
can someone find a hack for this please.. dear hackers out there thanks.

Need a little help here....i've 4 computers in the house and it's all running VNC Server Enterprise Edition 4.2.2. I've downloaded VNC Viewer from the link above and run it on my Kaiser but when try to connect, it says "Unable to connect to the specified server!". I'm not sure what to set as i'm just bad with these network stuff.
Assuming i want to connect to my computer A name "Desktop". I would assume i just input the name Desktop to "Server" in the program and put in the password right? Or am i just so lost
Hope somebody can kindly guide me on this. Appreciate it.

Anybody? Would love to get it working in my TyTN II & i have up to 4 computers to remote into

Are you trying to get into them from the Internet or are you on your WiFi network?
If you are on your WiFi you will need to know the IP address of the machine you are connecting to unless you have DNS setup internally. Not sure if WM6 by default will detect Windows names.
If you are coming from the Internet then you will need to port forward your to each of your machines.

Guys, as usual, Wiki is your best friend. Do search it before asking - I've answered almost all the questions asked in this thread in the Remote Desktop Access Bible at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Access your desktop PC from your Pocket PC!
To make it short, in the Comparison Chart ( http://www.winmobiletech.com/122006PPCPCRemoteControl/PPC2PCRemoteRoundupTable.htm ), it's the "Resolution, zoom, color" group that you must check out; most importantly, the first ("Remote desktop resolution?") and the fifth ("Remote desktop resolution settable?") row. The latter even shows how you can actively change the resolution from the client.

Well....i would want to get connected via Home WiFi first. All the 4 computers are connected to the same router. I've tried putting in the computer IP address (ie: 192.168.1.101::5900) but it still says not able to connect. the ::5900 seem to be added in on it's own.

1, welcome to XDA-Devs
2, you mean is the address, your name / password saved? All of them, as is also explained in the chart of the Bible (did you check it out?????), in the "Login: l/p credentials definable, used (with RDP clients) and remembered? – an advantage particularly with RDP-based clients" and the "Server IP’s remembered?".
Please DO spend some time reading these Bibles / charts before asking questions!

no, sorry for the bad english. I mean, what about the security of the connection. Via PC i use a ipsec connection. When I use a normal connection it is possible to trace my login data and to get access to my server for other people.

RDP is a safe protocol - no cleartext passwords are communicated. BTW, you can also run RDP over a VPN connection to maximize safety.

Does anyone know how to use Remote Desktop?

I downloaded the cab, but i dont know where to go from there. I am just a normal person with a laptop and a tilt.

Do you have a domain set up for your laptop? Probably not so there is no way for you to use the Remote desktop app there are other apps out there but most cost money

You dont need a domain setup to use it. You can just leave that blank. You need to know your IP address, and you need to have a password setup on your machine for remote desktop to work, you can not connect if you do not have a password.
If you are behind a router, you need to forward the correct ports for it to be able to connect to your pc as well.
After its setup, you just need to connect via ip address, through a connection that is not behind a nat, if you are using att, you need to have access to the isp.cingular apn, wap.cingular does not work.

This is a pretty loaded question. Along with the information from fastblack, you'll also need to ensure your version of Windows supports Remote Desktop and that remote connections are allowed. Also depending on the environment there may be other security settings on the machine you are trying to connect to that will need to be considered.
In short, if you don't know how to do this already, it might not be the right solution for you. It can get pretty complicated in some cases.

I have vista premium. Say was to use a router for my laptop and my tilt for wifi. How do i create a password for my computer?

i can understand somewhat if someone comes here asking how to do something on a phone that is in the manual.......but now u're asking something about setting a password on your computer.......i dont use vista, so i can exactly tell you where to look but, i hear that vista comes with this brand new thing.......its called the help files, you should check it out

why not just use logmein (www.logmein.com) easier, faster, better

from logmein use hamachi mobile on the laptop and hamachi regular on the desktop to bypass firewalls....
Oh never mind, you would still need to know how to setup basic network security etc.
If this is the route you want to go pm me and I can send you some links to get started. It's not really that complicated but depending on the details there are alot of variables. Would post the links but would have to start googliny myself
But if you google you find allthe answers and any guide telling you how to RD from a normal computer to another - just treat the handhelp RD software the same.

This is how you do it in XP, Vista setup has to be very similar I bet:
Set the password for the windows user account you log on to on your PC. This can be done in Control Panel - in the User Accounts application.
Next you have to activate the remote desktop function. This can be found by right-clicking My Computer, go to properties, and then to the "Remote" tab. Check the "Allow Users to connect remotely to this computer" box.
Now check your local ip. this can be done by selecting the "Run" button in start, then type cmd and hit enter. In the that window type: "ipconfig" (without the quotes) and a line will read IP address . . . . . 192.xxx.xxx.xxx or something of the sort.
Thats the IP address you connect to, and when the prompt for username and password comes out, type in your Windows User Account respective username and password.
Good luck =)

delete. nm this

this is correct assuming you are:
A. attached to wireless
B. on the same network as the PC you are trying to control
if you want to control your home PC externally, there would be 1 additional step, and two optional but recommended steps.
To access remotely (from anywhere in the world), you would have to go into your router configuration and map port 3389 to the ip address of your vista machine. now for the two optional steps that would make your life easier...
1. set a static ip on your vista machine that is out of dhcp range.
2. use a service like dyndns.org and either set this up in your router if compatible, or install the free update client on your PC.
with this setup you should be able to access all your pc resources from anywhere in the world, not only on your PPC device, but any windows PC with a Remote Desktop client.
security note - set a strong password on your vista machine. port 3389 is well documented and scanned for by hackers. if the option is there, while your in your router turn off ping reply.
if all this is foreign to you, find me @ www.insiteitsolutions.com and i will take care of you.

Cab??
I can't find the remote desktop cab anymore. I tried searching the forums. I've looked at Dutty's site and all the cabs. Can someone point me to it please. I think maybe I am just not seeing it for some reason. I'm sure it's there, I've downloaded it before. Thanks!

What is so special about the video, can you post the link? If your on your home network on wifi you can remote to your pc or connect thru the data connection if you have a public box.
-McMex

See this link for how to enable remote desktop on your PC, how to setup your router/firewall to allow it to connect to the outside world and DDNS services for name resolution. I've briefly read through it and have confirmed it provides all that you'd need to set up Windows XP to allow remote desktop connectivity from any device (RDP capable phone, Linux, PC, Mac, etc.)
If you need specific help for Vista, I'm sure Google will give you what you need, if you change my search parameters "remote desktop firewall" to include 'Vista'. I still think the link given above will still be of use, Vista or not...
Hope this helps!

there a reason you dont want to use the free edition of logmein.com ?

Im d/l'ing log me in right now. Thanks man appreciate it

can you tell me what setting you have on your tilt. So i can use the screen space on my phone to the max without making it look weird.

Does such a program exist?

I have serched high and low. I was wondering if there was anyway to get Microsoft Access onto my Fuze. I have a biz that runs on Access, it would be helpful if i could have it with me at all times instead of having to carry a laptop everywhere i go.

I don't think such a program exists. I'm assuming that your Access stuff is a full application with forms, etc? You can probably use something like this --> http://www.handster.com/programs.php?id=2906&for=Pocket PC mdb to update the tables, but I can't see it running reports, etc.
If you have a decent data plan, then one option is to run Remote Desktop to a PC back at base running the Access Application. I've got a Virtual Machine on my server which I can access from my Touch Pro. I can run any app I want on there, and as long as I don't try to do anything stupid (like play a video), then it works fine. This is the only way I could see your Access application working on your TP.
Cheers,
Steve.

I believe the client is built into the Fuze. If you have a custom ROM, just do a search. Several threads have the cab to install it on the Fuze. It has also been built into Windows since at least XP. You have to be a local admin or in the remote users group to Remote Desktop or RDP to your desktop.

Transfer Files using Wifi + Android Name

Hi, i`ve been looking for a way to transfer files to the phone without using the USB cable.
I found: OnAir which does not work and SwiFTP which works but...
- i`m using Conectify to share my laptops internet connection. This in turn offers IP`s with DHCP.
Is there a way to name your phone to something fixed so that i can use it's name to connect?
If you have any other tips on how to do this, please feel free to let me know

on air does work fine on both 5.0.7 and froyo for me.

I suppose you're talking about Windows network. Is the phone rooted or not?
Non-rooted have no such option, but can use FTP. If you want to address it by a name - install DynDNS on the phone.
Rooted can change hostname to whatever you like (look up my thread about it in Development section - but it doesn't show on Windows network, since it's not NetBIOS name, it needs DNS server to be addressed) and/or install Samba+Netbios (look up Samba thread in Android General section, this one shows your phone as a computer on the Windows network with an SDCARD share, but it's a bit quirky - slows down when phone goes into sleep). Both things require interaction with O/S on a level of browsing system dirs, executing system commands and changing system text files. If you're not comfortable with it - I don't suggest trying.

I would just use ES File Explorer and pull the files from your Windows shares that you want rather than trying to go through all of the trouble to push a file to your phone.

Estrongs File Explorer does work very well browsing windows/smb shares over wifi. Astro can do this as well as an option for sftp for connecting to your linux box. As for a static IP you can do this manually from the wifi options in the phone. Or a nice app was made called WiFi Static, and is available free from the market.

A bit of a different choice, but Dropbox is free and can share files between any number of devices, in the cloud.
